Crystal Palace Panda Silk Yarn - 5116 Feldspar Reviews

The bamboo gives a great feel and a luster, the wool gives a soft feeling core and the combed silk gives it sheen and strength. Panda Silk's printed colors are all tone-on-tone shades with solid colors coordinated with the solids. The numbers are a clue - color 4001 coordinates with 3001, 4006 with 3006, etc. Printed multicolor shades are self-striping for fun, creative patterns!

This is my favorite less expensive sock yarn. It feels very silky and soft while on my fingers and then later on my toes! It also has a slight glow which showcases the my lace patterns. The Bamboo content does reduce elasticity and will pill a little if not washed with extra care but the beautiful result is certainly worth that for me.

I just love working with this yarn! My socks feel great in the knitting as well as the wearing. I gave it a 4star rating because I find it's best to hand wash it to prevent pills, and it will wear longer using smaller needles for the soles. I use 2.5 mm needles but then I knit quite tightly.
